A reporter of the PIONEER tramped
out to Martins slaughter house We'd
nesday to see the Hebrew Rabbi kill
a bullock for the Christian element of
Carmel. The bad weather must have
kept the gentleman away, however, as
he did not put in an appearance. Mr..
Martin stated that the bullock had to
be killed with a sacred knife held in
the hands of the Rabbi and that the
COW must be killed with the knife in a
single stroke. None of the meat will
be eaten if upon examination any part
of it is found not to be first-class. The
meat about the head of the animal is
only used and that about the rump is
not eaten at all.

Railroad Extension.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany have surveyors engaged in this
city, who are making surveys, etc,
with the view to preparing a route to
bring the West Jersey depot into the
centre of the place. The Buck prop
erty, on Jefferson street, is the most
available site. The heirs of the estate
hold the ground to be worth about
$4,000. The Pennsylvania is bound
to make move to keep one ahead
of the Central. The Central is bound
not to be behind. The battle RACES.
The city, of course, will get the bene-
fit. This morning the surveyors were
at work inside the curve of the Port
Norris road. From this, it would seem
as if the object Of the road is to run
parallel along the Port Norris, branch
off somewhere in the lower part of the
city and strike their objective point.
1t would of course be of much benefit
to the city if a handsome depot could
be built in the. central part of it.
We are reliably informed this morn
ing that property on South Pearl
street, in the vicinity of what is known
as the Misery" is being bought and
good prices realized One informant
states that his property is now being
negotiated for. This gives color to the
rumor mentioned above, and it would
seem as if these things were soon to
be. If this happens then the Central
Company would not be satisfied until
they had freight depot nearer the
heart of the city, and be better able
to compete with the other road

The February Campfire.

At the rooms of A. L. Robson Post,
G. A. R., Thursday evening, there was
wartime camp fire, and a good time
generally. After the regular Post
exercises the boys went into the mess
room and set themselves down at the
long tables, there to partake of bean
soup, coffee, crackers, pickles, and
other concomitants of camp life. The
soup was prepared by Sergeant Buck,
and it was first-class, because Bow"
hos not forgot his cunning as cook,
and never will so long as life holds out,
and the days in Dixie continue to be
remembered. After the meal the boys
adjourned to the main room where
the camp fire was lighted, and pipe
smoking, dancing, and military drill
occupied an hour to the great delight
of all present. Comrade John Put
man marshalled the host, and put
them through the various evolutions,
but by unanimous consent Comrade
Isaac Alkire was chosen captain. Then
the fun began. Decked in cap, belt
and sword, Capt. Isaac drilled them to
a nicely, amid the music of the big
drum and cymbals. More fun has not
been seen at the Post for many day.
Robson Post has four camp fires a
year, one in December, January, Feb
ruary and March, the last one for the
season will take place in March, when
another big time may be expected

of her appreciation. She will never
forget her 65th birthday.

For some time past. a certain young
man, well-known in this city, has been
on spree. A few days ago, it is alleg-
ed, he assaulted a woman who went
before Justice of the Peace to swear
out a warrant for his arrest. She also
appeared before the Mayor. On Satur-
day night he kicked up great racket
at Betchners cigar store. He became
boisterous and unmanageable and was
elected. This angered him and he
made threats of wiping out the place.
The appearance of Officer Garrison
seemed to soothe him to some extent,
and he went off.

Glass OF 'S7.

The Class of '87 gave an entertain
ment in the Institute school room,
last night, which reflected great credit
upon all who in any way participated.
The large room was filed with an as
sembly which showed its appreciation
by vigorous applause. The chief fea-
ture perhaps was the tumbleronican
performance by D. Robertson. The
program was one of unusually fine
merit, and was performed in a fault
less manner in every particular.
An overture by Misses Campbell and
Mandolin was the first of the program,
and the manner in which the difficult
selection was executed, reflected much
credit upon the performers. Mr.. Kir-
choff then performed with great skill
an admirable violin solo, the 'Hether
Rose" d. Robertson with thirty-two
unmusical looking tumblers played
beautifully, Thou art so near The
performance caught the audience, and
the applause which followed the per-
fornance showed how we'll it was ap-
preciated.
Mr.. Hankins, in his deep strong bass
voice, rendered the solo TOY Bell" in
a most pleasing manner. The friends
of Miss Woodruff were disappointed
in her not filing her part of the pro-
gram. DIR. L. Gilmour with his cornet
performed beautifully, and he was
obliged to respond to an encore An
other solo upon the tumblers pleased
the audience, and then Miss Hubbs
grandly sang beautiful soprano solo.
Her rendition was very sweet and ex-
pressive. She received a fine basket
of fruit from her friends. Mr.. Kirchoff
again performed upon his violin, and
then a male quartette was given by
Jas. E. Trask, w. B. Miller, A. G. Buck
and l. S. Hankins, which was con-
sidered a fine feature of the program.
Home, sweet Home, on the tumblers
by Mr.. Robertson, concluded the en-
tertainment. He explained the in
struments and the art of playing them.
The entertainment was one of the
most complete successes of the series
of class entertainments which have
been given for some years. The
audience were highly delighted, and
were loud in their praises of the pro-
gram.

J. A. Woodruff, Mayor Dubois and
David Hoffman, to Gloucester, where
James Buck and Mrs. Hoffman had
been captured by the authorities. The
party were brought before the Mayor
of Gloucester, and Buck was closely
questioned as to hisrunning away. He
said he had no intention of doing so,
and intended to come back. latter the

horse for sale, Mr.. Woodruff would
not make charge, and Buck was al
lowed to depart.

her husband appears to be man of
about fifty. He has children older
than his wife. Quite crowd gathered
at the depot to see them when they
returned.
